DESCRIPTION

Description The STA-III provides a convenient interface between a telephone line and the usersequipment. A short list of the features is presented below.

• Auto-answer and auto-disconnect via CPC (calling party control) and/or longdial tone hang up signals, allowing use behind PBX switches and POTS lines.

• Front panel, plus remote line seize and drop control for manual operation.• Remote line busy input.• Electronic telephone hybrid.• Remote controllable send and receive audio switcher.• Balanced bridging audio input with automatic signal limiter with front panel

level control.• Balanced low Z audio output with front panel level control.• Front panel LED’s display power, ring and valid DTMF tone.• Two remote controllable SPST relays • SPST End Of Call relay.• External hook relay activates when a valid access code is accepted• User programmable number of rings before auto-answer.• User programmable up to ten-digit access code, if required.• User defeatable beep tones on line seize.• All connections via screw terminals.• Loop-thru jack. (This is where you would connect your business telephone

system if you were sharing the line.)• The STA-III’s attractive painted metal chassis may be set on a desktop, mount-

ed on a wall or as part of the new optional RA-1 rack shelf for mounting upto three units in 1-RU.

ProgrammingTo program, plug a standard touch-tone® telephone into the program jack on thefront panel and press the recessed front panel “PGM” button with a non-metallicdevice. The PGM LED will illuminate.

Follow the steps below to set up the STA III.

1 - Enter the number of rings you want the STA-III to answer on. The numberof rings may set from 1 to 10 rings. DTMF “0” equals ten rings.

2 - Enter a “0” if you want to turn OFF the long dial tone hang-up or a 1 if youwant to turn it ON.

3 - Then enter the access code. The access code can be 0 - 12 digits. If noaccess code is desired, enter only the number of rings and the long dial tonecode and press the PGM button again to return to normal operation.

Example One: If you want to program the STA-III to answer on the 3rd ring, withlong dial-tone hang up turned OFF and an access code of 567, press the PGM but-ton, enter 30567 and press the PGM button again. You will hear a beep.

NOTE:

To verify firmware ver-sion numbers enter 98*.This command may notwork on older versionsof firmware.

Example Two: If you want to program the STA-III to answer the phone on the firstring,with long dial-tone hang up turned ON and NO access code, press the PGMbutton, enter 11 and press the PGM button again. You will hear a beep.

Factory Defaults:Number of rings = 1Access code = NONECPC = Always ONLong dial tone = OFF

poses. Talk-battery is provided.Pwr Led Illuminates when power is applied.

InstallationFollow the steps below:

Step 1 Connect your air monitor to the balanced (SEND) input labeled “A-INA / A-INB”. Adjust the front panel SEND LVL trimmer for a good level and checkfor proper DTMF detection operation. Note: If the send level is to high, theunit may have trouble detecting the DTMF tones. Moving the guard timejumper JP3 to the “SLOW” position will also enhance tone detection.

Step 2 Connect your input equipment to the balanced (CALLER) output of theSTA-III to your equipment. The output terminals are labeled “A-OUT / A-OUT”. The level may be adjusted on the front panel. This control is labeledRECEIVE LVL.

Step 3 Connect the required relays and/or function inputs to the rear panel screwterminals.

Step 4 Connect any shared telephone equipment to the rear panel LOOP RJ-11 jack.

Step 5 Connect the supplied 12 vac wall transformer to power jack on the rear panelof the STA III.



OPERATION

OperationAuto-Answering a call:

Step 1 Answers after ring count set by user

Step 2 Goes off hook and beeps

Step 3 The users enters a valid access code, (if applicable) and relay K4 (external hook) closes.

Step 4 The send and receive audio is enabled. NOTE: Be sure you have enabled the send/caller audio with the commands below.

Dropping a call:Hang up occurs with a 12 second dial tone (if enabled), CPC, *99, front or rear paneldrop function.

NOTE: CPC and loss of loop current ignored if, an off-hook condition is ini-tiated by a remote or front panel SIEZE function.

Controlling the send and caller audio:

* 9 # turns OFF send (to phone line) audio* 9 * turns ON send audio* 8 # turns OFF caller (from telephone line) audio* 8 * turns ON caller audio

Relay Operation:The CE Relay (CE-A/CE-B) K2 closes for 1 second when hang up occurs.

External Hook (HK-A/HK-B) Relay K4 turns ON when a valid access code isaccepted or the SEIZE function is initiated.
